Some Good Museums

[Messy1]

In the midwest, the only decent museum close to me is the SAC museum in Ashland, Ne right outside of Omaha. They have mostly aircraft from the Cold war, but the highlight is right in the the glass atrium entrance, you walk underneath a SR71 Blackbird. Really gives you a good viewm and a great idea on how big this plane really is! This alone make it worth the trip!!

If you look at the top pic, you can only really make out the top part of the aircraft on the right side of the atrium.

I am planning on going back there in the very near future, and taking a ton of pics. Wish this museum had more WW2 aircraft, but it is a great museum none the less.

Actually, its not so much who you get the coffee from, but just how well its made.

...actually, I should go visit you. I haven't been to Vancouver since '89. I took my then-girlfriend up there. Queen Elizabeth park, the planatarium (do they still have the big metal crab out in front?), she even got me to walk across that dam rickety rope bridge (the Capillano, in case you're wondering). We took pics of each other standing next to the totems in Stanley park, then drove to the top.
Is there still the big look out up there?
...I remember there were a couple of stands up there, too. Mmmm, good hot dogs.

The Metal Crab is still there, and the Planetarium, but the Maritime Museum will be closing soon. They have expanded the facilities up on the mountain, it costs a little more to ride up on the gondola but the restaurant & other stuff are available year-round.

You will probably come for the Winter Olympics right?

I'm afraid your US Greenback won't be be worth nearly what it was before...

But still ahead of the Peso. {at least at the time I write this}

You know, I never did go up on Grouse Mountain.
After experiencing () the Capilano Bridge, we drove up there but it was so socked in by the clouds, we decided it wasn't worth the trip.
No, probably won't go for the Olympics, but I do plan on getting back up there, one of these days.
I understand there's a jazz club in Gastown called "The Cellar". I know a guy who plays there often, so I was hoping to catch one of his performances while I was there.
When? Wish I had a better idea.
Sorry to hear the Maritime Museum will be closing.
